The development team calls it Strava for readers, and it is. Combined with Readwise Highlights, and Readwise Reader, Readwise Books squares the circle by integrating all of your reading in an attractive and powerful interface. I depend on it daily and recommend it highly! ### 5/5 — A reading app built for readers *2026-10-28* Readwise is undefeated at building great products for people who like to read, and their new book app is no different. This thing is designed to get you reading, highlighting, and tracking both ebooks and paper. You can even access and track your Kindle library and library loans through it. ### 5/5 — Great app for reading *2026-10-28* I was a beta tester of the app for 3 months and so glad it’s finally available. It got me back into reading on my phone. So much smoother scrolling your book with more intuitive up and down swipe page turns. The most stand out feature is the single tap highlighting and making much easier to make precise highlights. Overall amazing app. ### 5/5 — finally a beautiful alternative to goodreads *2026-10-28* Initial impression is really good. Give a raise to the designer ### 5/5 — Excellent app for readers! *2026-10-28* Finally an app good enough to make me leave goodreads. There’s many reasons I love this app! First let’s talk about the book tracking. I love the ability to have lists for my current reads, want to read, read, and books I own. Updating each of these lists is seamless and easy! What’s great about this app is it goes the extra step, and lets you track reading sessions as well! From how fast you read (tracks time and words per minute) and how long it took to read the whole book with total time and amount of sessions. You have a few options for tracking reading sessions, from using the apps built in ereader (that hooks to your kindle), or manual for ereader, physical, AND audiobooks! This app also nailed the social aspects. I get to see what my friends are reading, details of their reading sessions including any thoughts/comments they wanted to share while reading, and when they finish a book and their rating and review. All of this shows up in your newsfeed, and you can opt into notifications that are so fun! They’re so clever. An examples are “so close! (Your friend) rated (book) 4.5 stars! See what held them back from a perfect five! Overall I really enjoy the app and the creators are very receptive to feedback. I highly recommend downloading and I’m excited to see what they add in the future! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-10-28* The best book tracking platform I’ve ever used (and I’ve tried a lot!) A complete game changer for digital reading, and pretty phenomenal for paper book tracking too. ### 5/5 — Adore this app!! *2026-10-28* This is my absolute favorite reading app!!! I have been having a blast chatting with other readers, tracking live reading sessions, and checking out my reading stats! It’s so beautiful and streamlined and I love it!! ### 5/5 — Altered my reading habits (complimentary) *2026-10-28* This app has some secret sauce. Before using it, I had a huge list of books that I wanted to read but could never “find the time.” Instead when I had a free moment, I would reach for some social media or news app. Now, in those moments I reach for this app instead and pick up my book right where I left off. Whether it’s an ebook or a physical book. Now I’ve got a whole list of new books I can’t wait to start. ### 5/5 — Love the tracking! *2026-10-28* Runners have their tracking and now readers do too! What is reading if not running for the brain? 😂 I’ve been enjoying being able to track my reading stats while reading my physical book, ebook within the app, or with my audiobook. ### 5/5 — Great Features, Great Team! *2026-10-28* I love how many reader focused features Readwise has incorporated into the app, while still keeping the essence of what makes a good, easy to use reading app. And the community aspect is so fun! Not to mention, the team behind the curtain who makes it all come to life. It’s a small company with a big impact, and amazing customer support to boot! ### 5/5 — I’m reading again *2026-10-28* This app single-handedly got me back into consistent reading. Seeing what my friends are reading has given me a ‘want to read’ list that is unreasonably long. Ultimate in-app reading experience. ### 5/5 — So exciting!! *2026-10-28* This is amazing! I’ve always dreamed of an app where I could track all my books and read them in one place! ### 5/5 — The best app on my phone *2026-10-28* This app has been transformative in how I spend my screen time… which is now primarily reading! I also love tracking my books, and this app is perfect for that. Totally impressed by the catalogue of available ebooks ### 5/5 — Words to stay with me *2026-10-28* I mostly read non-fiction, short essays and books with beautiful quotes or ideas that just hit differently. I often come across a sentence that makes me stop and think, and I want to keep those moments. Readwise Books helps me save the things that resonate with me and come back to them later. Because I don’t want to just read something good and forget it a week later. I want some of those words to stay with me. :) ### 5/5 — This changes everything. *2026-10-28* Unlike any other book app out there… I love the reading experience and automatic session tracking. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 4/5 — Good start, a lot to improve *2026-10-29* To add: Apple Books synchronisation. Database of non-English books ### 5/5 — All my books are belong in here! *2026-10-29* It’s been amazing to have all books, physical, audio and digital (kindle+epub) in one place. ### 5/5 — The best tracking app out there *2026-10-29* This is the best tracking app. Hands down.

It’s such a fantastic way to keep track of what I’m reading and I love seeing all of the data on my reading speed. The graphics and stickers that you can download are so pretty and it’s absolutely contributed to me hitting my reading goals this year! ### 5/5 — The perfect reading companion *2026-10-28* The best reading and tracking app you can find. Read (and found) the most books this year because of this app. Simply makes you want to read more. The reading experience is amazing on iPhone and iPad. Tracks all your reading sessions (digitally or physically) so seamlessly. ### 5/5 — Amazing V1 *2026-10-28* Works perfectly right at launch, even works on the iPhone Duo. Love the Readwise products and happy to now being able to include my book reading in the perfect ecosystem for reading, highlighting et revisiting, from articles to books ! ### 5/5 — The Next Big Thing *2026-10-28* I truly believe this might be the next BIG reading app out there. This is the only e-reader I'll be using from now on. From a reading perspective and a social media perspective, this app is next level. ### 5/5 — Readwise Books *2026-10-28* Works great, lots of features, easy to use, convenient access to lots of new (and old) books, works on a wide variety of devices. Love it! ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New favorite reading app *2026-10-28* This app does it all, and is beautiful to boot.
